costume institute gala, met ball 2012. from actors to musicians, designers to stylists, even models to football quarterbacks, the biggest stars in the world gathered last monday night (may 7, 2012) at the metropolitan museum of art in new york city to celebrate the opening of spring 2012’s costume institution exhibit: schiaparelli & prada: impossible conversations.
vogue editor-in-chief, anna wintour is responsible for overseeing every detail of the annual benefit including the guest list & allegedly, every single attendee’s outfit. thus, narrowing my top 40 for best overall look & originality was nearly an ‘impossible conversation’ itself.

listed in alphabetical order: amy poehler, fontini; anja rubik, anthony vaccarello; anna wintour, prada; ashley greene, donna karan; bee schaffer, erdem; beyoncé, givenchy; bianca brandolini d’adda, dolce & gabbana; camilla belle, ralph lauren; carey mulligan, prada; cate blanchett, alexander mcqueen.

girl crush alert! photographer angelo pennetta documents a week in the life of model karlie kloss — a couture fashion week in paris, to be precise.
‘off-duty, on-duty’ (although, a model of kloss’ caliber is never really ‘off-duty’) is the concept behind the shots from kloss’ fittings, showings & style. kloss poses in everything from personalized pyjamas to couture gowns.

“je t’aime…moi non plus” (“i love you…me neither”); the curious phrase written & sung by serge gainsbourgh as a duet w/brigitte bardot (& later w/jane birkin). the message behind the duet distinguishes love from sex; acknowledging the former as something meaningful, but that often gets mistaken for the latter.
it would make sense an editorial of the same name would be erotically charged w/anonymous naked bodies that add the element of “me neither” of gainsbourgh’s situation of love.
